When the whole line of the Sooth em Pacific in Oregon Is ballasted with decomposed granite It will be one cf the finest roada In the United States, and when to this is added 75 pounds steel rails there will be no reason why the run between here and Portland might not be made In four bours by the through train. The local would take longer be cause of the numerous stops. Conductor Pat Tynan, whocalls every' body "sweetheart," whether male or fe male, has resumed his run, and Jim Ifsnsbrongh, who was doing the punch Ing with care for him on tbe Portland run, la now in Conductor Kearney's place on the Ashland run. The latter conductor ia atill compelled to "loco- mote" with tho aid of crutches, aa the result of bis encounter with a dog at Glendale a few weeks ago. It waa a peculiar accident to result so seriously. It is to be hoped tbst business will so Improve that the railroad company will se its way clear before long lo put op a new atation at Koseburg. Tbe present building is not only inadequate to the requirements of the station, bat gives the lo?al officials ao appearance of shamefacednesa everytime the people catch them here. Ote about like that at Granta Pars would be about our ais and just to our liking, and for such a one we will ever pray and hope that the prajer will not be too long delayed. A woman's ability to knock the stuff- log out of a man aa a packer of grins waa demonstrated at the McClallen the other day. A man and bis wife were goests.

She went out, bought a email telescoped) vauae, pacxea tier ibtnga in it tuen put the valise in hubby 'a grip. 'Where there's a will there's a way," 'tis said ; and where there'a a woman there ia usoally a will. The special that went through on Son- day morning with tbe Railway Mail clerks excursion, made a good run be tween Portland and Ashland, covering the 313 miles in 12 hours and 60 min utes. The excursionists left Portland after sapper and were in Ashland for breakfast. The only objection is, they were whirled through tbe state, or rath er across it in the night and the visitors hadn't au opportunity to see "God's Conntry." If that run had been between breakfaet and euppcr it would have been something like it, and tbe Easterners would have had something to talk about for the balance of their uetoral Uvea. CORBETT FIT25IMM0NS. Gentleman Jim No Longer Champion Out, In the 14th Round. In Carson City, Nevada, yesterday were gathered thousands of people, com ing from all parts of tbo Union to wit ness the prize fight between James J. Corbett of Ean Francisco and Robert Fitziimmons of Australia. The two fighters have had a long aeries of suc cesses in tbe ring covering a period of several years. As long ago as 1803 the friends of the men have been contending that tbeir particular favorite was the better fighter, and tbe principles them selves have not been slow of expression on their own respective merits. Col umns of matter have been printed of in terviews with the pugilists of greater or leeeer renown and many attempts baye been made to bring the men together. But owing to the stringent laws of the various states against prise fighting, satisfactory arrangements could, not be made. In tbe matter of blowing Cor bett has bad decidedly tbe beat of it, and has stated that the Australian was a coward and a cur and was afraid to meet him in the ring, an d tbe laws were an excuse that he shielded bimaelf behind. But the State of Nevada came to tbe re lief of all concerned and legalised prize fighting. No time waa lost after the passage ol the act to arraoge tbe prelim inaries and then tbe details, and the civilized world ever since has been all agog over the event. The fighter went into training in tbe vicinity, ol the fight ing ground and on the appointed day each for himself and bis friends for him proclaimed for each the pink of perfec tion. It was to be a battle of the giants. At noon the big arenfj was filled and a few mluutos later the men stepped into the ring and in the presence of betw een 3000 and -iOOOpaople, Robert Fitzstm moDS defeated James J. Oorbett in what was probably the moat scientifically con tested battle in Ihe pugilistic bUtory of the world, and wrested Irom him the title of champion of the world. The fight, which lasted for 11 rounds, waa fiercely contested throughout, and Is generally conceded to have been won ou ita merits. Duriug the first few rounds, however, and in point of science throughout the fight. Corbett seemed to have tbe beat of it, but a tremendous blow over the heart from Fitxaimmona' right carried him to the floor uncon scious, and be did not riuo until after tbe referee's fateful "One-two-three -four-five-aix-aevea-oight-uine-teu and out" had been counted, proclaiming to the world the advent of a new pugilistic champion in the peisou "of Robert Fit simmous. The fight as recorded by rounds is of Interest onlylto tbe initiated. Therein is told how Corbett punched Fits and Fits punched Corbett. Three minutes to punch and one minute to rest. Tbere waa a ' strong Corbett coloring in tbe bulletins but the champion went down. The 5ewrs. Koaeburg Is suffering from an epidem ic of sickness at present, and no wonder. Many of tbe streets and alleys are In a filthy condition. Tbe eewera have net been flushed oat for many montha and are choked np with a mini of disease breadiog accumulation. If the city coun cil refuaea to act in the premises before the warm sprint weather comes, the epi demic will grow in Intensity just as pre dicted by ibe pbyslciaoa who several weeks ago called attention to the alarm ing slate of affairs. Tbe above item appears in tbe Review of the 15th Insf. In jo far as the state ment refers lo tbe sewer, the above statement is absolutely false and is with- oat any foundation of fact. So far as tbe streets are concerned, every person Is aware that theie ia an amount of litter accumulates on the streets daring the fall and winter, and in Ihe spring when tbe streets are dry log out tbere is a foul stench arising from them. As far aa this matter is con cerned, tbe sewers bare nothing to do with thia result. In connection with the sewer question tbere is one uct that the citixens should take Into considera tion, that la the very limited number of closets tbere are connected with the sewers, snd tbe vaet number located all over the city that are using open vaults. It is not necessary to moltiply words on this subject. A few moments reflection, we think, should satisfy any one as to tbe greater source of diseaee breeding at mosphere. If tbe cJtixens of Roeeburg are concerned in regard to the condition of tbe sewers, we invite them to call a public meeting and select a committee to examine tbe sewers, and we will cber fully accompany them and examine every m an-hole on tbe main lines and at every branch connection. Such a committee will be prepared to report in telligently npon tbe condition of tbe sewers. In regard to cleaning op tbe atreets. It has been thelcuatom for years back, when tbe street are drying up in the spring, for property owners to clean up the street adjoining tbeir places and tbe city baa hauled the refuse away. Probably thia spring w ill not be an ex ception. It would probably be a good policy for editora to know theyare right before tbey make positive statement. CJIA1RMAX COMMITTXK Off HfALTH.

Ai any hazard, let the government insist that its citizens must be fairly dealt with and the Amer ican flag respected. Leniency begets insolt and injury. In view of the late fiasco at Salem, which haa disgraced ns at home and abroad, why should not tbe making the absence, without legal excuse of duly elected legislator, an offence against the state punishable by forfeiture of tbeir positions or fine. Pledges and Oaths have little weight with many of onr law makers. The servants of the people disregard the will and wishes of their constituents. To make laws may be more pleaaot than to obey the higher law. It would be also worth consider ing, tbe paasage of a law making it criminal to give and receive a pass from any railroad or any other transportation company to a legislator, judge or com missioner. Oar law makers and execu tors of our laws should be free to act impartially. It would be gratifying to the many frienda of Mr. Hermann, for ex-congressman, now President McKinley, to ac knowledge the ability and worth of his fellow ex-congreesman, by appointing him to aome important office aa com missioner general of the land office or of Indian affairs. An important problem worthy of the consideration of American farmers, is the Saxon Land Investment Co., an associa tion whose object is to lend to needy farmers, st a low rate cf interest, mod erate sums of money secured on their land, to enable them to bring forward tbeir crops to harvest and, market, re lease them from paying high rate of In terest, etc. It ia under government con trol, aa it obtains in Germany, and is safe. In that country tbe stock of tbe company is above par. With every thing else produced by the farmer down, and tbe value of land depreciated, is not interest too high? If cereals do not pay to raise, let oa try and find something that does. If there a surplus of wheat In the country, let us raise leee wheat. We must also condense our products, where transportation is high. We import sugar beet largely. We iieed more money In circulation. Wby not try ihe sugar beet? R. . Drain Normal Items.
